Didn't know that.

But who? The Nameless Kamicolo was the only Namekian on Earth who had the knowledge to make Dragonballs.

Outside of Guru, Mori, and later Dende, all the others are apparently died.

What would another Namek be doing on Earth and why would they make Balls like that that.

Those are balls that need to be inert. Very inert. The most inert balls ever.

Looks like there's a baseball episode coming up. Maybe Yamcha will get a chance to shine... or die again.

  • November 27: “Come Forth, Shenlong! Whose Wish Shall Be Granted?!”
  • December 4: “Goku vs Arale! The Earth Comes to an End Due to their Battle?”
  • December 11: “Challenge from Champa! Let’s fight in baseball!”
  • December 18: “Goku dies! Assassination order that must be performed.”

Arale? wtf so much for that being a one off shoutout in dragonball. Yay Goku might die, a chance for someone else to actually shine!

Baseball?! Could my boy Yamcha have a focus episode?! I totally forgot that, with the Future Trunks arc ending, we're in for more amazing filler episodes!

Well, nobody was dead at the end of Z, so yeah...

Yeah, but the very end of Z seems to be non-canon at this point in Super. Pan for instance shouldn't even be born yet.

So the question I have is if this assassin is Hit or not.

Prepare to have your hopes dashed. Asking for Yamcha to get a fair shake is like asking for the sky to change colour.

At the very least, this is likely a pure Toei thing, because Toriyama got everything he wanted out of Yamcha, and then tossed him under twenty buses.

Expect him to be conveniently useless, dead, or useless and dead when the baseball game comes up, or something that ensures he's excluded.

[up](2) Huh..

Improve GT ... Pan gets super saiyan, and probably should go up to four. Failing that, Pan inherits Gohan's kaioshin power up

What are you on and may I have some?

@Envyus

There's been no confirmation that is a new arc though.

I don't think they're gonna announce a new arc until December. This will probably be some filler episodes like the ones between the Champa arc and the Future Trunks arc.

And the manga catches up a bit in the meantime.

Straight Edge means I'm better than you. I thought it was safe to say Goku had surpassed Arale at this point, but I guess not? Maybe she was upgraded, and or did four months of training? Maybe she does the fusion dance with Hatchan? And where was Arale during Vegeta&Cell Buu? Seems like she'd have more reason to fight them.[[/spoiler

So Dragon Ball has done A Journey To The West, Wuxia(particularly Snake In Eagle's Shadow), Superman(particularly Superman II), Terminator and now, apparently, Dragon Quest. What should it do next? A tournament, obviously, but if that's not the most immediate thing I think the next arc should be based on Monopoly or Clue.

Honestly, Arale is such a joke character that I'm assuming she's like Beerus. Completely unbeatable no matter what.

Arale literally cracked the planet apart three times. Honestly, Giro should've just kidnapped her creator to make the Androids.

Are you kidding? He couldn't even control 17 and 18, and Arale would dance on both their skulls with ease. There's no way he'd ever be able to take her. He'd been kissing the moon before he had a chance.

To be fair, that's Dr. Slump Arale. The Arale in Dragon Ball seemed to be less of a joke character than she was in her main series.

They're the same character. Dr. Slump is set in the same universe as Dragon Ball.

Her highest strength feat in Dragon Ball though was punching Blue into Egypt, and I think that whole thing was anime filler in the first place.

Just looked up the manga, and nope, it's actually in there. Toriyama wrote it in the manga.

Okay then.

Still, she was never made as OP as her main series counterpart, and I think it's more like the characters of Dr. Slump exist in Dragon Ball, but not the stories associated with them. Otherwise Norimaki would be even more of an OP scientist than Bulma and Dr. Gero combined.

I doubt the anime would consider what she did way back when in Dragonball anyway. She's a gag character through and through.

So naturally some fan decided to see what she'd look like if she wasn't a gag character. Wish there was a larger picture.
